Do you have any ideas about your novel yet? :>

Y'know, I think I might. I have no idea what I'd write about =D; I haven't written...in at least five years. Because my writing fails XD; If I think up something, I might try.

Awesome smam, my nanowrimo journal is on lj also @ nanowrimo_mab, I'll go friend you! XD
I'm all set with my plot because my friend Lisa and I had planning meetings this year about plots and this month its going to be meetings with characters and storyline stuff. And cupcakes ;D
This is my 3rd year, 1 success and 1 failure due to being raped by having 20 hours of work and 18 credits as well as doing some side work too but my success book is ABSOLUTELY EPIC. It went ballistic on itself and the ideas kept coming and it's over 700 pages long and took me the past two years to finish. I am afraid to edit it, it is like a monster in the closet or something >.>

sam: That's the best way to start. XD I tried to plan my novel last year & only got to about 17k words. lol. So I'm just going to write out character profiles & little notes that I'd like to get in there eventually. I have no plot though. <3 It'll happen as I write. XD Cerri: LOL. Jesus. See, I've never actually finished mine. XD Last year was the best that I got. 17k. I'm not an active writer though, I'm more of a graphics person.

I'm just praying this one hovers somewhere between 50k and 75k, just for my wrists sake!

I'm debating on trying it this year, even though usually I'm unimpressed. XD
That is, if I have time from all of my effin' term papers due in November! >>;

Does writing 5 novels over the span of 7 years count? XD
Although the thought of just doing continuous word vomit on my secondary novel is tempting, I know better than than to neglect my main novel for more than a couple of days. i'd die. From my editor.
It would be a very Furuba moment.

So, I've done Nano for the last two years. I've never completed either novel, and I'm still working on last year's story. It's a bloody awesome story, mind you. I have no idea if I'm doing it this year. It's a 50/50 chance at this point. Because, you know, the concept is awesome, but it's not for me. I can't write a bunch of drivel to make a word count. It's kinda against the way I was trained to write. Part of me is tempted to novelize what's going on in my RPG. Making that into a readable story would get 50,000 words nicely. But I don't know if it would count.

Chani, it would definitely count. Pretty much all that you have to do to be a nano novel is 50,000 words that you start on November 1st

Really? I would have been for sure it was a no-no. >>;;;
I'm sure my fellow RPGers would love to see the story as I get pieces of it done, too.
Okay, it's like 65/45 right now.

Some people even do giant epic fanfics, I'm pretty sure there's a whole section of the forum (which I don't suggest checking out yet as it is SLOOOOW today) dedicated to it
